Oswin 🚪
I am so glad you did Oswin bc I love him even though he's new. So...I guess maybe for Aëlla, he is almost like a door. She comes to him and the path is clearer. She figuratively (maybe sometimes literally) gets lost in things she loves often, but he brings her to the door of home.
Maybe also because he loves home. And maybe because he's willing to take new doors as well. He's brave. Ready for nearly anything that might be on the other side.
Umbra 🛡️
Oooo good one. Well, she is very guarded, especially with her mind. She feels like if anyone knew what was in her head, they'd look at her as a monster (and a recent villainous role in a play made her wonder if the weeks of being immersed in the role would push her to become like the character). But she goes on the offense when someone talks about it. And her mind is overshadowed by so many things. Here are a few little snippets where this is showed
-----
“Umbra, I know what you fear.” Umbra’s expression darkened. “But listen to my words, for we have little and waning time.” She stood still as a monument, her eyes avoiding his. “You fear what effect this role, this woman, may have upon you.” He knows. Umbra was in shock and she felt a tear on her face from realizing the sheer awfulness this thought seemed to carry. Out on the stage, she heard the lines close to her queue
-----
She grew angry with him, and whipped around to meet his desperate gaze with her cold, dark, blue eyes. The fierceness seen there made Alistair falter. He glanced at his hand gripped around her arm, then quickly released his hold and stepped back. Umbra did not speak, but in response to his plea only drew back the curtain staunchly, and walked out onto the stage, letting her role sink into her, to spite Alistair. But also, to her, to show that he was wrong about what he said was in her mind. She felt the eager eyes of the large crowd upon her, and she relished it.

And yeah this is at the beginning and she makes some mistakes (for a reason). She has much to learn
Could you do these: 🎈 ⚔️ 🩶 ❤️ 🪽 for the ask game please?
oh these one look fun. Okay let’s get into it.
❤️- oh love languages this is kinda hard. So I would actually say physical touch is one of my top ones, though there are very few people I’m comfortable enough with to be like that. Also I would say just sharing tidbits about my life and my thoughts is a love language for me, and listening to the other person life. It just the small things about talking to people that’s really important to me.
⚔️- for this I’d say my skill at just drawing and stuff, and often times I’ll make and art projects or paintings for family members, for example when my grandmother was really sick with cancer a few years ago i made a painting with one of her favorite quotes (“ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”) it was a very meaningful and uplifting moment with the family and I’m thankful for it.
🩶- I’d say I’m kinda a mix between the mom friend and the funny one, like if somebody is feeling down I’m there to listen and give advice and stuff but I can also make everyone laugh and just bring the good vibes, I’m also very much the talkative one.
🎈- so I may or may not have mentioned this but I do aerial silks and recently I was able to do eggbeater footlocks which are a pretty hard move that involves a lot of arm strength so I’m proud of it.
🪽- for just a day I would want to fly. No wings or anything just fly, maybe like have airbending that would be cool but mostly just be able to be free soaring in the sky.
